Resideo RWD42 Water Leak Alarm With Sensing Cable Reviews
I have had the Water Leak Alarm for at least three years since a neighbor had a flood that caused extensive damage to his ceiling. The Water Leak Alarm is easy to set up. I've actually had a bathroom very slow leak. I received notifications but didn't see water on the floor ?. But, when I passed my hand across the Sensing Cable I felt it wet. This leak would have only gotten worst. I was able to make a minor repair and avoided what potentially could have been a real problem. I have four devices and have just added two more including the attic where the HVAC is. I plan to give my two sons three Water Leak Alarms each for their homes. I'm very happy with the product and I tell others my story.
Just as described. Easy setup. Can't completely judge it till a water event occurs but it looks like good quality that should deliver quality service!
JUST WHAT WE NEEDED, HAD A SLOW WATER LEAK THAT DID MUCH DAMAGE, NOW HAVE FOUR WATER LEAK DETECTORS IN PLACE !
This leak alarm was so easy to install, a baby could have done it. So far so good. BUT I hope I never have to test it with a leak.
This is just what I needed to notify me of a leak. Easy to install.

Liked the alarm, easy to use, good price. Think the alarm could be louder than it is though.
Excellent in all regards so far.
This will go off if ANY moisture touches ANY part of the sensor cable. Other, inferior alarms have a long, plastic covered wire with the only part that senses water being a gizmo at the end. The wire could actually be submerged in water and there would still be no alarm if the box at the end isn't wet. Talk about a false sense of security. Imagine the damage that could occur under, say, a dishwasher, if a rivulet of water from a slow leak touches the wire but avoids the sensor on its stealthy journey into the apartment ceilings below. That won't happen with these alarms. Just make sure the fabric covered sensor cable is taped down flat with small pieces of tape along the whole length. You will have to provide better hold down clips than what are provided, however, because the provided ones have poor adhesive on them. Even a damp rag accidentally touching the cable will set off the alarm. To silence it you will have to unplug the cable for a few minutes until it dries out.
